SHIFT Function
When simultaneously pushing MIDI channel UP & DOWN, the SHIFT function is active until one of the
two MIDI channel pushbuttons is released.
Displaying switches state
Once the shift function is active, all the 8 switches state are displayed on LCD, as follow:
The 8 switches state are shown in a set of 8 characters (4 top switches followed by all 4 bottom
switches):
. _ means the switch is pushed (or toggled to ON)
. ■ means the switch is relaxed (or toggled to OFF )
Locking MIDI out
Once a control (potentiometer, switch or LFO) has to send MIDI data, if SHIFT function is active, then
assigned MIDI events are not sent to the Bitstream MIDI output.
Bitstream behavior stays unchanged, apart from the LCD which indicates locked MIDI data, as follow:
Potentiometers & switches behavior
From ROM V2.0, all the 40 potentiometers and all the 8 switches have two behavior options,
described below. All can be independently programmed via the configuration software (> V3.1),
available for both mode 1 and user defined modes.
Potentiometers configuration: Hook / Jump
This allows to set the selected potentiometer behavior as Hook or jump mode, hook is used to avoid
jumps when switching from one group to another. The MIDI events are not sent until the potentiometer
physical value is equal to the current group value. Jump is the common behavior, the Bitstream
doesn't care about physical and group mismatches, and send MIDI once the potentiometer tweaked.
Switches configuration: Toggle / Push
This allows to set the selected programmable switch behavior as toggle or push mode. When a switch
is configured as toggle, a single push/release toggle the actual switch value between Min to Max
values, this mode is mainly used to program on/off functions as mutes, as opposed to the push mode
that has for effect to send Max value once pushed, then Min value once released, this mode is mainly
used to program momentary functions as transport.
